Abstract
Sampling phytophagous thrips populations in soybean fields is seldom undertaken. There are at least five reasons for this: (1) no report has directly linked soybean yield loss or lowered seed quality to thrips abundance or damage caused by thrips abundance or damage caused by thrips, (2) conventional sampling methods used in soybean fields (e.g., sweep net, ground cloth) are inadequate for estimating population levels, (3) it is difficult to contain thrips in and extract them from conventional sampling devices once they are collected, (4) phytophagous thrips are relatively small and may appear inconsequential compared to larger pests, and (5) they are somewhat difficult to identify to species, especially the immature stages.
